New Bern's historic district means re-wiring buildings that were never designed for modern loads. That work is slow, detailed and generates a lot of partial cable.
Outside downtown, coastal construction and the marine trades add URD, USE-2 and flexible cable to the same storage sheds.
Where the wire comes from in New Bern
Historic building re-wiring

Service area, not a branch
New Bern is a coverage area. We arrange pickup at your site; there is no office or yard to drop material at without talking to us first.
Selling surplus wire in New Bern
Send the wire type, gauge, approximate footage and where it is stored. Photos of the reel tag and the jacket legend shorten the process more than anything else you can put in the form.
If you are not sure what you have, call +1 (614) 715-3047 and read the print legend off the jacket. That is usually enough to identify it.
One reel or a full storage room
Both are normal. A single reel of large copper or medium voltage is worth a look on its own; small partials are worth moving when they travel together.
What to include on the form
- Wire type and voltage class
- Copper or aluminum, and the gauge or MCM
- Approximate footage left, or full versus partial reel
- Reel, spool, coil or carton count
- Condition and whether the tag is still on the reel
- The New Bern address or ZIP where it is stored
- Loading: dock, forklift, or ground level
